Treworgey Tree Fayre July 1989

[Talkinpeace]

I look at what youngsters get up to today
and still wonder how much of Treworgey is false memories

was anybody else there ?

I was there, I still have a flyer from it 😄. What of it do you feel is false memories? From what I remember it was utter anarchy, horrific toilets, crazy shit happening and a near miss for a total disaster of a festival. I nearly got trampled by a stoned guy on a horse!!

Were the explosives in the woods real ?

Did I really headbut police horses ?

Were Hawkwind that bad ?

Was it actually life changingly wonderful ?

Lol. I don't remember the explosives in the woods and no idea if you headbutted police horses...maybe you indulged in some things that added to your unusual memories 😉. Hawkwind did play, I saw them, but I can't remember if they were good or bad. It didn't change my life but did give me gastroenteritis. It was by far the most anarchic festival I've been to and I went to a fair few. Festivals back then were a completely different entity to festivals now.

Oh blimey, what a shambles it was. IIRC all the security people fell out on the first day and so there was no security.

I missed the worst as I lived within walking distance so wasn't on site 24/7. I think I camped the first night with a friend and then we de-camped.

I know I enjoyed Nick Turner's set on the last day (lots of people had already left by then which probably helped!), his laser show was fab.

Good old Nik, saw him at Glastonbury just before he died

and of the rest of you know people who got hep
